I miss the good old days of PC Gamer (UK at least, which was the better out of the US / UK ones, then Ross left and it went all down hill) I used to be a regular in their Steam group chat, was a close community but like most things, people moved on and left the chat (Lots of drama), but yeah on topic, the magazine as of late has not been that great compared to a few years ago, they let most of their writers go and just started using mostly freelance if i remember
Also that article was a good read
